Ingredient Notes
For full recipe instructions and complete list of ingredients, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
- Plain Greek yogurt: A high-protein option that creates the thick and creamy base. You can use any thick Greek yogurt but 2% or full-fat creates the best flavor and consistency.
- Mayonnaise: A small amount adds richness and that creamy French onion dip consistency.
- Dried onion flakes: This provides that signature French onion flavor. As they combine with the other ingredients, they soften and release even more flavor.
- Garlic: Use freshly minced or microplanned garlic cloves.
- Worcestershire sauce: Enhances the onion flavor to create delicious savory flavors.
- Onion powder: Adds even more onion flavor.
- Dried parsley: Adds color and subtle herb flavor. You can omit if needed without changing the flavor too much.
- Paprika: Rounds out the flavors of the dip.
- Salt: Balances all of the flavors together.
Variations
- Add caramelized onions. Although this dip tastes amazing on it’s own, you can stir in very finely chopped caramelized onions for a deeper, sweeter onion flavor.
- Add fresh herbs. Swap the dried herbs for fresh parsley, dill, or chives.
- Make it fully mayo-free. While the mayo gives it more of the traditional onion dip consistency and flavor, you can skip the mayo and use all Greek yogurt for an even lighter version.

Jamie’s Tips
Expert Recipe Tips
- Let the dip chill before serving. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This helps the onion flakes soften and the flavor to deepen.
- Use thick Greek yogurt. A thicker yogurt creates the best creamy texture. Full-fat or 2% is best.
- Adjust the consistency if needed. If the dip thickens too much after chilling, stir in a small splash of milk or an extra spoonful of yogurt.
